Palabras clave: úlceras venosas por estasis venosa, actualización, revisión bibliográfica

Resumen

Las úlceras por estasis venoso crónico de las extremidades inferiores afectan hasta el 5% de la población mayor de 65 años y el 1,5% de la población general. Las úlceras venosas son causadas por una enfermedad venosa crónica producida por hipertensión venosa. La hipertensión venosa es el resultado de la incompetencia valvular dentro del sistema venoso profundo o por la obstrucción del flujo venoso. Ambos mecanismos producen un pobre retorno venoso. Además, se cree que la escasa movilidad y la disminución de la función de la bomba muscular de la pantorrilla son factores contribuyentes. El uso de terapia compresiva durante toda la vida está indicado en pacientes con enfermedad venosa crónica en las extremidades inferiores. Reduce la presión venosa ambulatoria. Estos incluyen sistemas de vendaje, prendas (medias) o dispositivos.
